If they really want to go the parade and its import to them then why not support it.
Its the same to me with the stampeded, if its generating so much money for local businesses then the businesses should have no problem raising 1.9 million for it.
Let tourism Canada work on educating the world about the benefits of visiting Canada as a whole not on support regional events.

Toronto Pride is a national event - it is the biggest Pride in Canada (I believe that its the 2nd biggest in NA) and generates tremendous intra and international tourism. $400,000 to support an event that generates a $100,000,000 annual economic benefit? C'mon...that only makes good economic sense. The most diehard conservative would know that. If you could get that return on investment, would you say no?
